Objectives of Webinar & Cross – Sites Workshop
Webinar participants will understand:
How a strengths approach is a key strategy for work with families in the child welfare system.
Increase awareness of how implicit bias shapes daily interactions & organizational behaviors.

Objectives (Cont.)
• Three levels of modern day intergenerational legacies of historical trauma: structural racism - systems that interferes with recognition of family strengths; internalized oppression in the targeted group; and - use of implicit bias by bystanders.
• Consider specific areas where bias emerges

Objectives (Cont.)
Identify potential triggers of the spider web of schemas, stereotypes and implicit bias in work with diverse child welfare families.
Identify strategies and actions to mitigate bias at individual and institutional levels.
Learn a 3-step model for identifying diverse family strengths.
Their leadership role as a member of a SBCT in implementing a strengths-based, developmentally informed, approach from diverse perspectives.

A strengths approach is a key strategy for family-centered work.
• Demonstrates value for diverse families.• Is a core component of the SBCT approach (Hudson, 2016)
• Is the foundation of good casework practice.• Partners with families in making decisions, setting goals, and achieving
desired outcomes. • It is founded on the principle of communicating openly and honestly with
families in a way that supports disclosure of culture, family dynamics, and personal experiences in order to meet the individual needs of every family and every child. (Child Welfare Gateway 2014).
• Promotes the safety, permanency, and well-being of children and families in the child welfare system.
What are the barriers to identifying a families strengths?

Barrier: Our Perception We tend to categorize people
using limited pieces of
information and then act on
this information, even though
most of our inferences have
not been confirmed.
This process is called making
perceptual inferences since
we are required to diagnose
our situation and make rapid
inferences about it from
scanty clues.

• Social stereotypes about certain groups
of people that individuals form outside
their own consciousness
• Patterns based on small bits of
information
• Often incompatible with our conscious
values
What is Unconscious Bias?

We act with bias
• Also called schemas, cognitive biases, stereotypes, default thinking.
• Examples: women & nurturing, men & competition, African American males & aggression, LGBT parent & weakness.
![Page 13: Bias in seeing family strengths - Home | qicct.org FINAL WEBINAR & Cross Sites 10... · family strengths; internalized oppression in the targeted group; and - use of implicit bias](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022041421/5e1f6dc07a807970303eedbc/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Biases can be implicit
• We are not aware we hold particular associations – most develop early in life.
• Exposure to a stimulus activates bias; even when we disapprove of the stereotype/are committed to egalitarian views (Uhlmann & Cohen, 2007).
• Implicit associations are measurable, predict a wide range of behavior (Greenwald & Krieger, 2001).
![Page 14: Bias in seeing family strengths - Home | qicct.org FINAL WEBINAR & Cross Sites 10... · family strengths; internalized oppression in the targeted group; and - use of implicit bias](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022041421/5e1f6dc07a807970303eedbc/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

About Hidden Bias Scientific research has demonstrated
that biases thought to be absent or
extinguished remains as “mental
residue” in most of us. Studies show
people can be consciously committed
to egalitarianism, and deliberately
work to behave without prejudice, yet
still possess hidden negative
prejudices or stereotypes.
So even though we believe we see
and treat people as equals, hidden
biases may still influence our
perceptions and actions.

We are socialized as BYSTANDERS to accept ‘Othering’.

Bias: Child Welfare Court Teams
• Wishful thinking – lack of bias awareness
• Lack of clear standards, open criteria
• Lack of accountability for actions & feedback
• Lack of transparency
• We are rushed, distracted, stressed in deciding
• Low effort processing (Dovidio, 2001; Casey et al., 2012)

How stereotypes contribute to Racial Disparities in foster care
A child welfare system ‘truth’:
Interdisciplinary ‘helpers’ at every point along the child welfare continuum, may operate from a position of privilege and unconscious stereotypes about Blacks and children of color.

aware we have biases
and “own” them,
we have the power
to change our mind.

HOW TO RE-TRAIN OUR
BRAINS
The good news! Neuroplasticity! Evidence from research on long-term reduction in implicit
bias. (Divine, et al 2012)
![Page 42: Bias in seeing family strengths - Home | qicct.org FINAL WEBINAR & Cross Sites 10... · family strengths; internalized oppression in the targeted group; and - use of implicit bias](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022041421/5e1f6dc07a807970303eedbc/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
How do we re-train our brains?
By treating Bias like a Bad Habit! Research found dramatic results in reducing bias
through a 12-week intervention that focused on:
1) Awareness of implicit bias - Unrecognized legacies of privilege & stereotypes
2) Concern about the effects of that bias –3)The application of strategies to reduce bias.

• Enhance internal motivation to reduce bias– Recognize unconscious bias (IAT)
– Self-discovery within a non-threatening, private context
• Increase the understanding about the psychological basis of bias – Normal aspect of human cognition
• Improve ability to build partnerships with others– Finding a common ground
• Enhanced empathy– Perspective taking
– Role play-team discussions

Step #2: Undoing Cobwebs of Bias & Stereotypes to see family strengths
• Increase conscious awareness of bias and how bias leads to overlooking talent
• Develop more explicit criteria for interactions (less ambiguity) and accountability up the decision ladder.
• Alter SBCT policies and practices
![Page 46: Bias in seeing family strengths - Home | qicct.org FINAL WEBINAR & Cross Sites 10... · family strengths; internalized oppression in the targeted group; and - use of implicit bias](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022041421/5e1f6dc07a807970303eedbc/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Step #3: Goal Setting & committmentto break the habit of bias
• Bias in assessment of family strengths?
• Bias in involvement of father?
• Bias in recognition of child needs? (Automatically ADHD diagnosis?)
• Bias based on appearance or # of children
• Bias based on Voice and Accent:

Brainstorm and share
• Consider the type of problem you are trying to address at your site.
• List different strengths-based strategies to address that problem.

More Ideas: Use the IAT• Project Implicit- non-profit org / international collaboration between
researchers interested in implicit social cognition - thoughts and feelings outside of conscious awareness and control
• Founded in 1998 by three scientists – Tony Greenwald (University of Washington),Mahzarin Banaji (Harvard University), and Brian Nosek (University of Virginia)
• Goal - educate the public about implicit social cognition & provide a “virtual laboratory” collecting data on the Internet.
• Project Implicit also provides consulting, education, and training services on implicit bias, diversity and inclusion, leadership, applying science to practice, and innovation.
• For more information about the Project Implicit research group, see https://www.projectimplicit.net

• Biases and associations exist in most people (over 75%) – 15 years of research, more than 10 million taken IAT
• Maps to existing social hierarchies and stereotypes (Nosek, 2009)
– Favor men, Whites, youth, heterosexuals, and physically able
– Males = Science; Females = Liberal Arts
Data: What is Your Score on Unconscious Bias?

Example
• associate a list of positive words (pretty, sweet, calm) with flowers

Next
• associate a list of negative words (ugly, scary, freaky) with a list of insect names.
Most of us find this initial task easy.

• By measuring reaction times in tests like these, Greenwald postulated that scientists are able to measure your association of positive words with flowers and negative words with insects
• We call this positive association a preference and the negative association a bias
